Stardust, a period tracking app focused on astrology, has gained traction in the U.S. after the Roe v. Wade ruling. It employs a de-identification strategy, utilizing the Rownd platform to separate user health data from identifiable information. Users sign up using Google, which complicates privacy efforts since their accounts connect real identities to period-tracking data. Notably, Rownd is not mentioned in Stardust's Privacy Policy. As interest in reproductive health rises, Stardust's approach sparks ongoing discussion about user privacy in health applications amidst a sensitive climate.
The Stardust app allows users to track their periods while de-identifying health data, yet its reliance on a Google account raises privacy concerns.
Following the Roe v. Wade overturn, Stardust's downloads surged, as it offers a unique blend of astrology and period tracking for those seeking privacy.
